Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 535: After being crowned king [asking for votes]

"You are good at talking, and you know what I want to hear."

The emperor seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "I also know that I cannot leave Chang'an for a long time. If I really go to the Western Expedition with you, it will cause a lot of delays in state affairs."

Then he said: "You don't have to make me happy. Seven or eight years ago, when I and you were deducing the use of troops, you killed all my soldiers and horses. Now that you are twenty, you know how to restrain yourself and say that you were taught by me. of."

The ceremony of conferring the title of king has been completed. Look at the sky, the sun is shining brightly in the sky.

The emperor turned around and walked back, saying as he walked: "Your temperament is more like mine. This is what you learned from me when you were a child.

But your military strategy was not taught by me, and I cannot teach it.

Although you have learned military skills from me and Wei Qing, the way you march and fight is different from everyone else. This is innate. "

The emperor seemed a little disinterested and left with his hands behind his back.

Because of the ceremony of conferring a king, the morning court was moved to after the king was conferred, and now he has to go back to the court.

"Qu Bing, go to the outskirts of the city on my behalf to lead the imperial army in military exercises, so that all parties will know the power of our Han army." The emperor ordered and disappeared into the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

At this time, other people came forward one after another to congratulate Huo Qubing for officially being crowned king.

After a while, envoys from all over the world came to pay their respects to the founder of the Han Dynasty, the youngest and most prominent champion.

This year is the third year of Yuanshou, which is 120 BC. Huo Qubing is 20 years old.

According to the established historical trajectory, Emperor Wu of this year will send envoys to Alexandria.

According to historical records, Alexandria was the first African place name learned during the Han Dynasty. Ancient books called the city of Alexandria "Li Xuan".

This move by Emperor Wu was considered by later historians to be the earliest progress and breakthrough in diplomacy.

Also in this year, Emperor Wu established iron smelting officials in Licheng and Dongpingling in Jinan County.

In the morning of this day, there were also ministers reporting and related matters.

Previously, due to the fact that some businessmen made a fortune from iron smelting, local officials and businessmen colluded.The emperor then brought the iron smelting industry under the government's control and set up iron officials in iron-producing areas. The iron smelting industry of the Han Dynasty entered its peak stage.

In the same year, the Han Dynasty extracted the hundred-refined steel from iron and began to try to cast steel weapons, also known as the "hundred-refined method".

The West did not start using pig iron to make steel until 1856, about 2000 years later than China.

Of course, this is an inherent historical change. There has been a shift in this world, and the method of steelmaking has been available for some time.

Also in this year, the decision-making body "China and North Korea" composed of Emperor Wu's close ministers and cronies held a national policy demonstration. Sang Hongyang, who was in his early thirties, strongly advocated the implementation of the salt and iron monopoly policy.

In the debate with the conservative and opposition parties, he refuted the ministers, showed his talents, and officially entered the stage of history.

He will soon become the ruler of the Han Dynasty and a famous money bag that will be passed down for thousands of years.

The day's court meeting ended, and the emperor Shi Shiran went down to the court.

After the big court meeting ended, he held another small court meeting in his study.

Invite some ministers who are close to him and who are more valued by him to participate.

Gongsun Hong, Dong Zhongshu, Li Cai, Wei Qing, Zhang Tang, Li Guang, Cheng Bushi and Sang Hongyang were all there.

Huo Guang was also able to enter the emperor's study, sit behind Dong Zhongshu, and listen in.

"Are you Qu Bing's younger brother, Master Dong's close disciple?"

The emperor looked at Huo Guang deliberately, showing some interest.

Huo Guang hurriedly bowed to the ground and held the ceremony again: "Yes, Brother Meng will not give up. He will take care of you and cultivate him."

Dong Zhongshu also added: "Your Majesty, this younger brother is very qualified and can inherit the mantle of an old minister. The next day, I will not hesitate to use my status to promote talents for Your Majesty."

The emperor laughed loudly and said to Huo Guang: "You must study hard and don't let down your brother and Master Dong's training. If I have any flaws, I will test you personally."

After saying this, he turned to the topic and said to the ministers: "On the way to the ancestral temple just now, Qu Bing told me about the establishment of a school and proposed that under the rule of the Han Dynasty, all tribes and vassal states should have a unified language.

I was at the court meeting just now and was still distracted by thinking about this matter. "

"What do you think, sir?"

Dong Zhongshu perked up and said, "I went to the Grand Sima Mansion for a banquet two days ago and discussed this matter."

"The veteran believes that in the early stage we can select a small number of people to focus on training.

Taking Shendu as an example, a small number of well-qualified Shendu people can be selected to study with me.

This group of people grew up in our country, so they naturally admire our Han culture and have a stronger sense of belonging to our country. Our strength will bring their loyalty. "

"Then let these people come back to govern the country when they become adults, which will play a better connecting role."

"This is inappropriate. How can the knowledge inherited by my great Han people be taught to foreigners? It is absolutely impossible."

Barabara, everyone was communicating in the study, arguing, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and discussing ways and means of ruling each party.

Seeing that it was time for lunch, the emperor became excited and left the ministers to eat in the study and talk while eating.

As soon as the meal was served, Huo Qubing came back from martial arts practice in the suburbs and walked into the study.

The emperor said: "I asked you to go to the outskirts of the city to lead troops and perform martial arts, and to invite envoys from all over the world to watch. Why did you come back so soon?"

Huo Qubing said calmly: "Most of the countries, counties, and tribes where the envoys came from were defeated by the ministers.

The combat effectiveness of our Han army has been increasing in recent years, but most of them are still in the state they were in when they were defeated.

There was a martial arts performance on the outskirts of the city, and I asked the imperial army to invite all parties to come to Chang'an to compete with the accompanying troops.

In terms of riding and archery, battle formations, individual combat, etc., they are very different from our Han army in every aspect. "

"I find it boring. It is enough to leave Zhang Cigong in charge and lead Chen Qing, Zhao Anji and others."

"Co-author, you are dissatisfied with all parties' efforts to make the troops you bring too weak and uninterested."

The emperor laughed and said: "You went to perform martial arts on my behalf. How could you come back just as soon as you said you would come back? It would make people laugh at me. I am not a country of etiquette. It is unbecoming."

Huo Qubing: "For some tribes, power is justice, so there is no need to be too polite.

Otherwise, he will feel that the hospitality is too much and he will feel contemptuous. "

The smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth spread, obviously agreeing with what Huo Qubing said, and he pursed his lips at the chamberlain Dong Xu.

Dong Xu, with quick eyes and quick hands, took a small step forward and placed a plate of white fruits with a hint of coolness in front of the emperor, then brought it to Huo Qubing.

"A few days ago, I told you that according to the Hetu Luoshu, we found a small cave that was left over from ancient times.

There is still some ancient energy in the small cave, and this fruit was picked from it. The cold air is quite strong, and the spiritual energy is also strong. Eat it in midsummer, and it will have a unique taste. Try it to cure your illness. "

Huo Qubing smiled and ate with his uncle Wei Qing on one side and Gongsun Hong on the other side.Everyone was in the emperor's study, discussing matters until the afternoon.

The martial arts performance at the military mansion on the outskirts of the city only dispersed at sunset.

All parties watching the martial arts performance continued to discuss after they dispersed.

Some of the envoys did not fully understand the combat prowess displayed by the Forbidden Army during their martial arts exercises, including long-distance long-bow rapid fire, crossbows firing in succession, and even the mysterious and murderous formation changes of the Han army.

The strength of the Han army stabilized the forces of all parties.

A seven-man queue composed of the Forbidden Army cooperated with each other and was poisonous. The Western Huns' troops faced each other five times as many as themselves, but they still had a slight upper hand.

If bows and crossbows were used in actual combat, the Han army would obviously be stronger.

In this military exercise, the strength displayed by the Han army was far beyond the previous expectations of all parties.

Surprisingly, none of the vassal states and tribal representatives who came to watch the ceremony were depressed.

They are now also part of the Han Dynasty. The strength of the Han Dynasty does not make them feel fearful and uneasy, but instead gives them a faint sense of pride.

This is cohesion.

It is in nature to be strong, and animals still know how to choose the strongest person to lead and protect the group.

The man is strong enough, and the sense of belonging comes from this.

Because the gap is obvious enough, you can't think of resisting, otherwise you are looking for death.

----

Zhang Su was one of the people who came to Chang'an from Kuaiji County in the southeast of the Han Dynasty. He was a 46-year-old man with a simple and honest appearance.

Zhang Yue, the governor of Kuaiji County, also came to Chang'an in person. The two were from the same clan.

The group returned to the post house, and everyone led by Zhang Yue was still discussing with great interest what they had seen on the martial arts field.

"I had only heard about the Imperial Guards under the Champion King before, but this time I saw it with my own eyes. It's really unbelievable."

The county guard Zhang Yue is almost sixty, but at this moment his eyes are shining and his beard is trembling, showing that he is extremely excited: "In the past few years, I have often heard that our Han army was sweeping north and south, marching thousands of miles westward.

What I saw today is true. We Han people have such a strong army and generals, so we have nothing to worry about. "

Zhang Yue also brought a chief clerk and a team of 30 county soldiers to Chang'an to observe the ceremony and report on their work.

The leader of the county soldiers is the head of Zhang Yue's personal bodyguards.

Coupled with Zhang Su, several people gathered together and discussed:

"Envoys from various places came to Chang'an, and there were more than 2000 people. Some came from thousands of miles away."

"Well, the changes in our country's strength, borders, and military achievements in recent years are unprecedented."

The few people chatted until Hai Hai and then dispersed.

The sky is full of stars.

Zhang Su returned to his room alone without any delay.

After closing the door, his behavior became a little strange.

He took out a vial, and what poured out was an array.

The array was spherical in shape, with a shimmering light, and spread out on the ground, immediately blocking all sounds in the room to prevent eavesdropping.

Then Zhang Su took out a conch-like object and sent a voice into it: "I have detected some things. 'The King' should be imprisoned by Huo Qubing."

A voice quickly came from the other end: "Are you sure you haven't been discovered?

There are more than one semi-saint in Chang'an now. "

"My identity means that it's not my turn to get close to Weiyang Palace. I also went to the school grounds on the outskirts of the city after making sure Huo Qubing left.

I didn't meet him face to face, how could he find me in Chang'an, a city with a population of millions. "Zhang Su's originally honest and honest face turned into something sinister and terrifying.

"You went to the Han army's martial arts field. What was the combat effectiveness of its troops?"

"Much better than the trash on Yamato Island."

"Based on your observation, how can we save the king?"

"The people close to the Champion King are well protected. Even if he is not in Chang'an, he cannot kidnap his wife or son in exchange."

Zhang Su paused for a moment: "In addition, the national destiny of the Han Dynasty has greatly contributed to the cultivation of the Han people. There are several Han people in the heaven and human realm who should be eliminated as soon as possible.

If someone in the Han Dynasty breaks through to the Half Saint, it will become more difficult to deal with than the Qin Dynasty, and it will be even more difficult for us to enter China. "

"Who are you referring to?"

"Gongsun Hong, Dong Zhongshu, who are at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, and Dao Zun, the master of the Taoist sect, and Wei Qing, are all likely to continue to break through. Among them, Gongsun Hong and Dong Zhongshu practice Confucian techniques. If they can get close and make a sudden assassination, they have a great chance. "

Zhang Su stayed in the room, carefully blocking the sound and talking through the voice.

He would never have imagined that Huo Qubing was sitting on his roof.

As for the newly promoted Han Dynasty King, on his left is Liu Qing dressed as a chivalrous woman and wearing night clothes.

On the right is Bai Nanyu, the troublemaker.

There was a cat hanging upside down from the beam, scratching at the windows and looking into the room to spy on the enemy.

Of course, the big cat was also thrown away by Huo Qubing and his aura was obscured.

In front of Huo Qubing and the others, the tiles on the roof turned transparent.

He was using his magical powers to watch the fire from across the bank. Not only could he clearly see the scene in the room, but he could also hear the sound clearly.

Huo Qubing has reached the level of a semi-saint, and has a close relationship with heaven and man. Especially in Chang'an, which is at the core of the Han Dynasty's national destiny, his strength is completely the means of immortals and demons.

Someone sneaked into Chang'an. It was the action taken by the banned Immortal Lord in the Imperial Tomb after the Red Demon and Shenba were captured alive by him.

This morning, during a martial arts performance on the outskirts of the city, Huo Qubing saw Zhang Yue, the governor of Kuaiji County, come forward to pay his respects.The Lingye Soldier Talisman in his consciousness immediately gave a warning. Although he had never seen Zhang Su, he could follow the warning signs generated by the county guard Zhang Yue and find him.

At this time, Liu Qing asked in a voice: "Why do you want to bring this foxy girl with you?"

On the other side, Bai Nanyu hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Why does the prince want to bring me with him?"

Huo Qubing blinked his eyes and wondered if you two were focusing on the wrong place. Shouldn't you be asking me how to deal with the people in the room below?Or how to continue to dig out the accomplices hidden behind it?

Ps: please vote, thank you
